Abstract

Une plate-forme de mise en réseau de données peut aider des consommateurs à faire le lien entre la conduite de tous les jours et le code de la route. La plate-forme peut capturer des données et des informations relatives à des incidents de circulation. Qu'il s'agisse d'un grave accident de la route, d'un pare-chocs embouti, d'une contravention pour excès de vitesse, d'un contravention ordinaire ou de DUI, la plate-forme peut aider les consommateurs à préserver leurs données et leur indique comment utiliser ces données pour se protéger et préserver leur droits. Selon les modes de réalisation de la présente invention, la plate-forme peut comprendre un réseau permettant à des consommateurs de trouver des fournisseurs de services correspondant à des problèmes impliquant des incidents de circulation. Ceci comprend par exemple des avocats spécialisés dans les accidents corporels, des avocats DUI, d'ateliers de réparation automobile, d'ateliers de réparation automatique de vitrages, de concessionnaires automobiles, de compagnies d'assurance, etc. Ces fournisseurs de service peuvent être autorisés à entrer en contact avec le consommateur via la plate-forme, voir les données d'incident et établir des devis en conséquence.
